WHO: Christine, Cullen, (Baldewin?) and their dogs
WHAT: Puppy play date because the dark future is terrible and the present should be filled with cute stuff.
WHEN: late Guardian
WHERE: Skyhold

Though Christine would deny it (if only to keep up appearances), her mother's dog has grown on her over these last few months, and she doesn't see him as quite the burden she once had. Training him out of bad habits hasn't been easy, but with Fereldans coming out of the stonework here, she has been given plenty of tips on how to make little Ponce behave. And now the papillion fancies himself to be as big as a mabari, standing guard of his mistress and growling at any who his mistress hasn't given her approval of yet. Mostly it amuses passersby, and he's often called a yapper or ankle biter.

Today he runs ahead of Christine without a leash, but he listens if she tells him to heel. She watches carefully as Ponce catches Puppy's scent and rushes ahead to barrel into the giant, play growling and nipping at him. Christine follows, nodding hello to the Commander.

"I do believe Ponce is ready to burn off all this excess energy."

"I do believe that your little hound will never burn away half of the energy he's given each day. The Maker only knows how his hide contains him." Still, Cullen is smiling as Puppy flops onto his side in order to reach Ponce for a gentle wrestle. Just because the little thing believes himself to be Puppy's size, that doesn't mean he would fare well against the mabari's full strength. "Has he been improving? I'm sorry I haven't had as much time to help with him as I thought I would." A vague hand gesture that more or less translates to 'life is busy and funny and cares little about my own plans.'
